Ace Tints, one of the leading providers of privacy tinting and window tinting services in the North West, continues to offer clients the best and most popular vehicular applications available on the market. Our newest offering is our car wrapping service. Car wraps, also known as vehicle wrap, is the process of applying detailed graphics and images to vehicles. Essentially any type and sized vehicle can be subjected to the wrapping process. Car, vans, trucks, boats, busses and the like can all be customised with personalised vehicle graphics to give it a decorative flair that is distinctly your own. And, as the name implies, the process can cover the entire surface of a vehicle, producing very imaginative and unique designs. Ace Tints is readily available to apply this exciting car wrapping service to your vehicle.

The process begins with a design phase. Interestingly, this can often be the most difficult part of the entire procedure. This phase entails conceptualizing the scope and design of the car graphics you want to appear on the vehicle. Our graphic designers will work with clients to bring your vision to life. Factors such as the complexity of the car graphics design and the type of vehicle you want to apply the design to must be taken into consideration. When a concept has been completed, a proof or mockup is produced to provide a visual representation of the finished product. Once this is approved by the client and finalized, the next phase of printing can begin.

With the approved conceptual design in hand, our vehicle graphics production specialists will produce customized panels that are based on the templates that the designers have created. The conceptual design is transferred to these large sheets of vinyl which are printed out into smaller segmented panels for easier installation by technicians. These vinyl sheets are one of the reasons that this application is also referred to as vinyl wrapping. In order to create vibrant and visually pleasing wraps, cast lamination and top quality inks are utilized. A professionally installed wrap will remain visually capturing for several years.

Once the panels have been created and printed, the final step is to install vehicle graphics. As we noted previously, virtually any type and sized vehicle can have a wrap applied to it. From the entire surface of a tractor trailer to a bus to the smallest of electric cars; Ace Tints car wrapping service is available for application. Our trained graphic installers will take the produced graphic panels and align them on the target vehicle, producing the conceptual design brought to life. A heating tool is utilized to position the vinyl wrapping panels correctly and stretch them into place on the vehicle. Additional tools are used to remove air bubbles, creating a finish that resembles a detailed paint job. The final product is a vehicular canvas that contains a graphic mosaic that is sure to please.

Car wrapping is an exciting application that not only adds visual enhancement to vehicles, but is also an affordable means of adding advertisement to vehicular assets. Adding car graphics in this manner is a straightforward process and is generally completed within 3 to 5 days. The trained professionals at Ace Tints will apply their expertise to provide superior quality car wrapping service that is guaranteed to meet your requirements – every time!

Car wrapping is perhaps one of the most cost effective and beneficial applications that can be utilized to enhance your vehicle. Wrapping is essentially the process of applying graphics and/or an enhancing vinyl coating to a vehicle. Vinyl wrapping can be applied to virtually any size or type of vehicle. Vehicle graphics can be added to a vehicle as large as a bus or as small as an electric powered car. Ace Tints professional car wrapping service is available to provide clients with the wealth of benefits that are obtained with this exciting application.

Perhaps the most essential aspect of vinyl wrapping is the fact that the process easily enhances the overall value of any vehicle that it is applied to. The process of car wrapping entails adding vinyl panels that are either transparent or contains vehicle graphics to the outside surface of cars, trucks, boats or other modes of transportation.

This accomplishes one of two objectives:

First, if you are applying a typical wrapping film that is transparent, you will distinctly enhance your vehicles existing paint job. Colours will become more vibrant and the vinyl wrapping will produce a natural shine apart from any type of waxing. Secondly, if you choose to add colourful and imaginative car graphics, you could well increase the value of your vehicle by making it unique and stylish. In either case, you are taking an existing asset and adding a component that will enhance its visual presentation.

Further, a vinyl wrapping will aptly add a layer of protection to existing paint jobs. Ace Tint’s products from its car wrapping service help protect your vehicle from run of the mill damage (i.e. UV discolouration weather, etc.). This includes effective protection from minor scratches and dings from impact from objects like small rocks, road salt and the like. Any damage to the car vinyl itself can simply be repaired by replacing the specific panel and not require a new (and expensive) paint job.

Speaking of paint jobs, Ace Tint’s car wrapping service and related products offer an affordable alternative to expensive vehicle paint jobs. Especially in instances when car graphics are desired, the endeavour can be a costly one if the requirement is fulfilled by painting. Additionally, paint jobs are permanent applications that can only be removed or undone by another equally expensive paint application. Vinyl wrapping allows vehicle owners to accomplish the exact same task at a fraction of the cost. Further, not only are car wrapping vehicle graphics as equally appealing as painted applications, but these vinyl wrappings are easily removed or replaced.

Perhaps one of the most advantageous benefits of Ace Tint’s car wrapping service and products is advertising. Vinyl wrapping easily allows businesses to affix company logos and related graphics to any vehicle. If one considers that a van wrapping, for example, on a single vehicle is estimated to garner 30,000 to 70,000 views in an urban area – then the visibility benefits to advertising are evident. A single business related vehicle that has benefited from Ace Tint’s car wrapping service will increase their exposure significantly – without additional advertisement expenditures beyond the initial cost of the car wrapping process.

These are only some of the most relevant benefits that are obtained with Ace Tint’s car wrapping service and related products. Our trained technicians and design specialist are on hand and prepared to provide professional expertise to meet your requirements. Ace Tint’s continues to be one of the number one suppliers of vinyl wrapping and window tinting in the North West through our ability to provide our clients with the superior service they deserve.

Here at AceTints we use multi-layered film which protects your vehicles interior from the damaging effects of the sun. Some of these benefits for Car Window Tinting are:

Heat Reduction

A 60% heat reduction can be achieved with window tinting compared to untreated glass. Window films can help keep your vehicle cooler even during the peak summer times by reflecting the heat from your vehicle.

Reduces Fading

Some of the films used can block up to 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. By blocking the harmful rays and with the heat reduction this can reduce fading of the seats and carpets in your vehicle.

Protection from UV Rays

With 99% of the UV rays blocked with some of our films this will help to protect your skin and your children’s. Our window tinting films offer better protection than stick on screens or blinds that only offer limited protection to direct sunlight and can easily be removed by the children.

Glare Reduction

Our window tints can help reduce the glare from the sun, headlights and reflective surfaces helping make your driving safer.

Added Privacy and Security

Car Window Tinting provides extra privacy from prying eyes and the window film can also hold the glass together if it has been broken or shattered in an accident.

How do we do it?

We apply a special film to the inside of the glass. Unlike cheaper window films on the market our film is bonded to the glass and we also offer a 5 year guarantee on our work.

Can we tint all the windows?

By law we are not able to tint the window screen of your vehicle. We also don’t tint anything darker than 70% on the front windows. You can read more on the legal requirements here.

What can we tint?

We can tint pretty much anything, if its glass AceTints can tint it! We offer car window tinting, home window tinting, office window tinting and more. We also offer Spi Vision headlight tinting for a more custom and cool design.

If you are looking to get Car Window Tinting carried out in the United Kingdom then you need to be aware of what the legal requirements are for doing so. It is also worth knowing the legal issues surrounding car window tints before visiting a company to have it carried out, even if your chosen company will have in-depth knowledge on the subject. Here are some of theCar Window Tinting Legal Requirements.

All of the law related to car window tinting can be found in the UK Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986. The statute has been amended on occasion to include different regulations on how much light can be transferred through the car windows, but the base information can be found in this rather hefty piece of legislation. For a tinted window to be legal in the United Kingdom it needs to:

1) The car needs to be used on or after the 1st April 1985. This isn’t manufactured, but used. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem for most people as it is only really modern cars that you find getting a tint, therefore this aspect of the law is pretty redundant.

2) The amount of light being transferred through the windscreen must be at least 75%. Here at Ace Tints we are able to provide you with a tint that meets these legal requirements.

3) The side windows should allow at least 70% of light to be transferred through. Once again your chosen company should be able to provide tints that meet the legal requirements in the United Kingdom.

If your car does not meet these legal requirements then you will find that you will be breaking the law. There are a number of consequences for people that have illegally tinted windows:

a) The most popular of the ‘punishments’ is a stop and fine. This could go one of two ways; your car will be impounded which of course will end up being costly. Otherwise you could end up with a fine and told to return to a police station at a later date to confirm that the offending film has been removed.

b) Any accident where it could be reasonably inferred that the tint was to be blamed then you will find that you are much more likely to be blamed. If this happens then quite often you will find that your insurer decides that your vehicle insurance is not valid and therefore will not assist you in repairs too your vehicle.

It may be possible to get away with ‘illegally tinted windows’, however, do you really want to run the risk of it? Noticing illegally tinted windows is difficult for those that enforce the law, but if you continue driving with them you eventually be caught. Is it worth having illegal windows for nothing more than aesthetic purposes when a lot of financial burden can fall upon you? In most people’s opinions it really isn’t.
